Chapter Thirteen

Trey strolled into the seedy bar. Thick smoke choked the air, along with a heady mixture of BO and fetid breath.

Damn. Haven’t any of these guys ever heard of a shower or brushing their teeth?

The bounty hunter wrinkled his nose, taking pride in the fact that even when he had been a criminal, he hadn’t let himself go like the men filling the room.

He didn’t spot a single woman in the place, not even a waitress; just dangerous men, many with scars, and a few with bandanas or tattoos marking them as members of local gangs. He shook his head.

Damn. Makes the Black Sun seem like the classiest joint in the country. Have to tell Tyler that the next time I see him.

Trey laughed at the thought. He’d been a gangbanger not all that long ago, but now the lifestyle seemed like a pathetic dead end. It was hard to believe he’d ever thought he could focus so much on short-term violence. Even if his current lifestyle wasn’t exactly full of pacifism, James, Staff Sergeant Royce, and others offered a vision for the future besides controlling some small slice of turf and dying young.

Have I really changed or have I just joined a tougher gang with a tougher gang leader? Don’t matter much. Suppose what I’m about to do when I find this sonofabitch ain’t that different from what I was doing before, but respect is respect.

Trey had visited more than a few dives and spent the day touring the darker parts of Las Vegas in pursuit of the thief. A few answers pointed him toward his current unpleasant environment.

Deafening rock music blasted from the speakers as Trey maneuvered through the room toward a table in the back. A wrinkled old man wearing an ill-fitting suit and sporting a bad bronze spray tan sat there. The man took a long drag from his cigarette as the bounty hunter closed on him.

“Hey,” Trey began, “You Anthony? ‘Cause you look like him.”

The man blew the smoke in Trey’s face. “Maybe. Who the fuck are you, and why should I care?”

Won’t do me no good to knock his ass out even if he is a little bitch.

Trey coughed and waved the smoke out of his face. “Someone’s looking for information, and I checked around and heard you might be able to help me with said information.”

“And how can I help you?”

“I heard you’re a man who likes to pay for shit people find,” Trey replied.

“Lots of people help lots of other people. And lots of people hear lots of things.” Anthony stubbed his cigarette out in a glass ashtray. “And, yeah, maybe I pay for a few things here and there when people happen to find them and bring them to me.” He smirked. “You think I don’t know who you are, Trey Garfield? You and your Brownstone buddies are walking around swinging your dicks like you own the town. Half of fucking Vegas knows who you are.”

“That’s the damned point.” Trey shrugged.
